Place the baking sheet/stone upside down over the banneton touching the dough, and flip the whole thing over. The trick is to avoid dropping the dough from a height.

Well, the baking stone is at 400 degrees, and heavy, so, I can't lift it, or I'd drop it or burn myself, unless I was wearing an asbestos suit, and lots of pairs of 'ove gloves.

Maybe I dump a bunch of cornmeal on the bread, put something plate sized over it, flip it, and slide it onto the stone? I've tried putting a pizza paddle on top, flipping it, but then I can't get it to slide off the paddle onto the stone.It looks fabulous until I try to slide it off the paddle, then it gets lopsided looking..

If I could only master getting cornmeal to stay on something as I place it upside down over the brotform :(

I do have some welding gloves, and I haven't tried lifting the 400 degree pizza stone while wearing them. Would they protect me from the heat of the stone?
